excitedcruzr Posted August 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Is a 3:30p airplane departure late enough via taxi? We'll be getting off Spendor in Norfolk next May. What's the earliest flight that would be in your comfort zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted August 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Oh, that's PLENTY of time. Norfolk is my home port. I live about 15 min from there. I would even do an 11AM one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a fun bunch of us locals. We all met on the Glory out of Norfolk May of 2013 and some of us even went on her again that October. That first cruise made me fall in love with the Glory and brought me back to Carnival after going on Celebrity for 5 cruises. I'm looking forward to Glory cruise #4 this October and then trying a different class of ship - the Splendor in May!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoysBestGirl Posted August 19, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Norfolk can be slow going for getting off the ship...but maybe things will be different when they start back in 2015 123cruise4me@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted August 19, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The latest I got off the ship in Norfolk was 8AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedcruzr Posted August 19, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I could probably google, but I think you guys/gals know a little more :) How far is the terminal from the airport? How long with traffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted August 19, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I would say maybe 10 miles. I'm not really good with distances. But it should take about 20-25 min with normal traffic. We'll be getting back on a Sat so it won't be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a Saturday morning the trip to the airport should be about 15-20 minutes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lido deck larry Posted August 19, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Norfolks airportis tiny. You'll breeze thru security. Trust LDL on this.. you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted August 20, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Oh yeah it is small! You should have seen it before the expansion. One side of the building was check in and the other side was arrivals. Was super easy to park in the parking lot. I'm going back to when I first moved here in 1992. I miss when it was like that! Used to take my son when he was little (born in 96) to the airport and pay $1/hr to watch the airplanes land and take off. He was in heaven. Best, cheapest entertainment in town. Of course all that changed that one dreadful day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 20, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I would try for an earlier flight! You'll be off the ship by 9am in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably not aware of this fact but on a weekend there is not a large selection of flights from Norfolk and the flights that are scheduled are not at the same frequency as a bigger hub airport. Depending on the airline the OP booked with there may not be a good selection of flights to change to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
